DIY: CRF Crank Damper Pully Shield (91-05)

[Chris_Lum]

Keep your valves and pistons from high fiving each other with this cheap piece of insurance. This is for the 1991-2005 Acura/Honda NSX. If the damper inside the crank pulley separates from the pulley, it will wear through your timing belt and cause catastrophic engine failure. Buy this CRF pulley shield and have piece of mind.

Chris_Lum,
Hey Bro, I watch a lot of your YouTube videos and they’re very helpful. I was wondering if you know the difference between the normal version vs the lightweight? Is one better than the other? Thanks.

One just has holes in it for weight savings. It’s not much weight savings so it’s probably best just to go with the normal version as that one will be stronger as well without the holes.

Nice. Hoping you’ll do timing belt DIY one day also. One by lap of the world is very good but I think it skips a step or two at the end. lol. Ask me how I know. Thanks!
